They've said many times that they want players that are physical, who run and hit. That is not a description of Forbes. To put it another way, "Not like Forbes" is what they say they want.

Regardless of that I think it's good that the coaches are giving Forbes a fair chance to make the team. He could be the exception to the rule. The real test for Forbes would be to put him up against big receivers in the preseason and see whether or not big receivers can just shrug him off like they did last season.

Hell of a prediction, Terry gets 1250, I cant give Dotson 1000 at this point. I actually think Ertz, Sinnot, and Luke surpass him as targets during the season

If Ertz stays healthy I could see him having a very productive year.

Agreed there, and I think having him will help Sinnot develop as well

Forbes not looking good at practice with the Jets today.

Re: Commanders Training Camp 2024

Good coaching can't fix our most serious deficiencies. Only AP can do that. We need: 1) A #1 CB. and 2) OL depth.

AP should consider throwing some big money at Stephon Gilmore. He would be plug and play. Forget about Forbes. He can't play.

Forbes has gotten off to a strong start in training camp and looks like a different player. The next test is seeing it translate to the games. Washington opens the preseason against the New York Gets on Saturday.


Proofreading is so dead in the news industry. That is unless the Jets and Giants merged into the New York Gets.

I kind of respect the front office for showing the discipline not to sign an aging corner whose play has dropped off. He is looking to be paid for several years and that may not be a wise investment. But as a fan it sure would be nice but fans don't know as much as a good front office does. Emphasis on the good front office part, when fans were screaming for Darrisaw and Gonzales and Ron gave us Davis and Forbes well that was not a good front office.

Re: Commanders Training Camp 2024

this is a rebuild. why would you sign gilmore? that makes no sense. this team will win 6 games tops. still not better than dallas, eagles or giants. this year is all about #5. if he can start every game, and get that experience, and become an elite player then we are on our way. that is really all that matters imo. the rest can fall into place if he is elite.

people making a big stink about forbes. he isn't a NFL player. he's too fucking small and weak. damn good college player but the sec isn't the NFL. terrible pick by ron as was Davis. now they're trying to have davis change positions? when does that work in the NFL? like never. he'll be gone too.

Re: Commanders Training Camp 2024

In hindsight, so far, I hate the Forbes pick. At the time it was a slight reach, but not egregious. Many had a 1st round grade on him, many had 2nd round grades as well. But what made it worse (both then and now) is that C Gonzalez was also on the board. Hopefully, this staff can get something out of Emmanuel. If not, bubbye.

I can't agree with you that Forbes was not an egregious pick by RR. Hindsight was not required to see that it was.

Gonzales has everything you could want in a CB. He was a consensus Top 10 pick. Before the draft, I and many other Commanders fans said that it would be a no-brainer to pick Gonzales if he fell to us, and it was.

Meanwhile, RR fell in love with a 165 pound CB with a very slight frame. Forbes was unlikely to hold up in the NFL from the beginning.

I just can't bring myself to lighten up on RR when it comes to his drafting record. He was a terrible GM.

OK, OK, I get it y'all. No Gilmore. He's too expensive and we're team building. Please forgive my obtuse post about him. I'm just freaking out a little about our CB situation which I think needs some type of GM attention.
